A Wide Variety of Applications for
the Surveillance Market
Bank headquarters and branches
An effective surveillance system is indispensable to banks; it is
especially important to monitor ATM machines, cash dispensers,
and windows around the clock. HSR recorders are especially suited
to the needs of banks: their excellent storage capacity and physical
compactness allow them to be placed discreetly and unobtrusively
where required. And because it is essential to keep recorded tapes
for long periods to protect against fraud, DV cassette tapes are
very compact and take up less space than standard cassettes.
Office buildings
Monitoring the inside and outside of office buildings is essential
for the safety and security of both the employees and the facility
itself. Up to 16 surveillance cameras can be connected to one HSR
recorder and, by installing cameras in entrances and exits, the
HSR can record for long periods, allowing you to monitor people
entering and leaving the building. Unlike images recorded using
conventional equipment -- which often do not have sufficient clarity
-- HSR-recorded images provide excellent and consistent picture
quality.
Cash vault operations
The HSR recorders combine outstanding image quality, long term
recording capability and high refresh rates, making them ideal for
cash vault operations. The HSR recorders have a horizontal reso-
lution of more than 500 TV lines in Super Mode, and the HSR
refresh rates in High mode is five times higher than conventional
analog time lapse recorders -- helping make sure that you do not
miss a thing.
Stores and shopping malls
It is extremely important to keep goods safe and secure from theft
in stores, especially at night. The HSR recorders have up to 16
camera inputs, allowing you to create a surveillance system to
suit your application and facility. The recorders' excellent image
quality and high refresh rates make a vital contribution to the suc-
cess of video evidence used in criminal prosecutions.
